I have found there to be both good and bad in this blog world.  I know I put myself out there by having this opened to the public.  I have also found some amazing womae, adoptees, natural moms, and adoptive moms through blogging.  I have seen a side of my oldest daughter that I wouldn't have seen without this blogging world.  I do love to read her words.  I try to see things in her perspective and make sure I take nothing personally.  It's her feelings and her views.

I found a good friend through this blogging world too.  I have been able to see adoption through adoptees point of view.  I am very grateful adult adoptees have been able to have the courage to express themselves through blogging.  I do know how scary it is to sometimes write my feelings down and hopefully not get beaten up for them.  I'm sure it is so much harder for adoptees than it is for me.  Adoption is about the adoptee.  I have seen the good, bad, and ugly through their personal experiences. 

Through the sadness and pain of adoption I have found a way to make a difference too.   I hope I can make a difference to even one person that won't see them selves as less than because of a metal bind on their left hand.    I won't give out the details yet.  It's not my idea, but Melynda's idea, and when she is ready to launch it I will write more about it.  I am definitely excited about it and can't wait to help her with this idea.
